In the forest, several people are surrounding the bonfire, a few days of running, tense nerves all the time, everyone's face is tired, coming down from Liangshan, there were originally dozens of people, but here, there are only ten people left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Naturally, I still have to go back to Mingzhou, and the Tiger King will definitely go back."

"Do you want to go back to him? Now that you've been defeated, why bother going back? The two are not brothers, but they defected to the command of the Tiger King together, and they have always taken care of each other, and the older one also sighed at this time, "Now there are only these people left, where do you think we can get out?" The way of the world is like this, if it is known that we were once the people of the Tiger King, you and I will not be able to protect our heads. ”

"Yes, a few days ago, I heard that among the people who were released from Liangshan at the beginning, there were people from Hong Ji, saying that as long as they took the head, they could be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and they could also be exempted from sin." The young man deliberately lowered his voice, but the other party's eyes widened, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, this is their trick, they want us to kill each other, if this is heard by others, it will kill you." ”

Looking at the other party's serious expression, the young man finally didn't dare to say more, but muttered in a low voice, "I don't say it, others know it." ”

In the night, more than a dozen people rested in the forest, three or three gathered together, a few days of rumors about the exchange of human heads for silver, has long been spread in the rout of the team, although we all know that most of this matter is Hong Ji's tricks, but since the rumors spread, they all found that each other's eyes are full of suspicion and confusion, most people's hearts, they also hope to Mingzhou, can take a breath.

"What are you going to do?" Someone shouted at night, and several people hurriedly got up, looked over, and only saw someone standing under the tree for convenience, while the other people were holding knives in their hands, "Okay, don't scare yourself, hurry up and rest, and you will have to hurry later." Seeing that the two sides were just a misunderstanding, some people scolded loudly, and after that, the atmosphere between several people became even more tense.

The young man subconsciously leaned closer to his brother beside him, "You go to sleep first, I'll watch, and I'll call you in the middle of the night." The young man nodded, and then fell asleep, and when everyone was ready to set off again on the second day, several people only saw the young man's body, the head had been cut off, and the brother who was originally with him was now gone, and everyone's faces were stunned, and the eyes of each other became more uneasy.

Since the defeat of Tian Hu's 100,000 army on Liangshan, in addition to the men and horses gathered by Tian Hu and his men, most of them have scattered and fled, and the less than 10,000 people who were put back by Li Huai and collected by Tian Hu have also been scattered into different teams, and now they can no longer be distinguished, and the gossip that spread with them is also like a plague that continues to erode the defeated team, Tian Hu's subordinates are all ruthless people, the so-called righteousness of the rivers and lakes, brotherly feelings, It's just a tie to the interests of killing and looting together, when eating meat and drinking a lot, they are naturally safe, and now they are saving their lives, and the conflict is self-evident, there are only two or three days of travel from Mingzhou, but from time to time you can see that several people in the mountains and forests who were originally walking together will fight each other in an instant, and more are headless corpses that are discarded in the mountains and forests.

However, at this time, in the Mingzhou Mansion, the power that had been secretly accumulated was also expanding.

It is still the original restaurant, and the news about Tian Hu's defeat on the rivers and lakes has not spread too far, after all, it is only a few days, and the high-level Tiger King who stayed in the state capital already has accurate news, and there are more soldiers patrolling at night, and the people who came up to defect from the rivers and lakes have also gathered in the outer city.

In the restaurant at night, Xiao Er carefully knocked on the door of the shopkeeper, and the other party was putting down the account book, "You have been here for some days, you have collected this silver, and it will not be used tomorrow." A bag of silver was pushed down in front of Xiao Er.

"What does this mean, shopkeeper?" Xiao Er looked at each other a little helplessly, counting the days, he has been working here for almost a year, and he is also taking care of himself, this time he suddenly called himself over, and took out such a bag of silver, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "Where did I do it badly?" ”

"Don't think about it, just put the money away, and then you will go to the cellar, the guys in the shop are there, you are clever, no matter what happens tomorrow, don't come out, understand?" The shopkeeper said seriously, Xiao Er held the silver in his arms, the shopkeeper smiled, and after a few more instructions, he let him out.

Since the shopkeeper's nephew fled, the shopkeeper deliberately handed over the things in the store to Xiao Er to take care of, and he was with his nephew to go out early and return late, and today he deliberately explained the matter, although Xiao Er had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, but he knew that something big must be going to happen in the Mingzhou Mansion tomorrow, while thinking, he went to the cellar in the backyard, and when he went in, he could see a few people must be hiding inside, they were all guys in the store, and their families, seeing Xiao Er come in, several people looked at each other, and they didn't say much, It's just that there is inevitably uneasiness on his face......

There was still an hour before dawn, and in a guest room in the restaurant, the young man was wiping the spear in his hand, the door was pushed open, and the shopkeeper walked in, and sat opposite the young man, "After this is done, I don't have to stay here anymore." ”

"It depends on the above arrangement, I am also ordered to do things, and besides, isn't it good here?" The young man looked at each other with a smile on his face.

The shopkeeper frowned, "I can't always be like this, my family still points to me to inherit the lineage." ”

The other party smiled and continued to wipe the spear in his hand, "You are also an old man of the internal guard, this time, I will find you a more stable job as mentioned above." ”

The two talked and laughed, until there was light outside the window, and then they went out together, since Tian Hu entered the Mingzhou Mansion, from the beginning of the turmoil, to the rest of the status quo, Tian Hu's actions did not affect the people at the bottom too much, and more is the looting of rich businessmen and landlords, and it is mostly an excuse to rob the rich and help the poor, but the money that is really used on the poor is really not considered, in the final analysis, the people at the bottom are just to have a relatively peaceful life, but this appearance of calm, It was completely broken in an explosion in the morning.
